I have wanted a 1911 a1 ever since 1971 when I first fired one in USMC boot camp.
Actually, it was the first side arm I ever fired.
So I have been researching them for several years. I wanted a good one, but didn't want to break the bank.
I sort of settled on a rock island as they got pretty good marks for the price. And I liked the idea of a fire arm that I could change cal. on, so I really wanted one of the 22tcm/9mm jobs if I could get one that was a fair price.
I found one being sold on proxibid, but thought it would sell for more than I could afford. Still, I bid on it.
Then I found another RI on gunbroker in .45 that was selling at a fair price, so I bid on that one as well, figuring I would end up with one or the other.
So...
Now I have a .45 AND a 22tcm/9mm on the way.
Not all that sad about it however.
I kinda wanted a .45 since it was closer to "my first" hand gun anyway. And the 22tcm/9mm should be fun to play around with!
Anyone here own a RI 22tcm/9mm?
